Manchester City seems to be regaining color since the start of this exercise. After a difficult 2024-24 campaign, punctuated by a 3rd place in the Premier League without any title, Pep Guardiola's gang once again presents itself as a serious contender for the title of champion of England.
Currently, the Skyblues occupy second place, three lengths behind Arsenal, leader, and remain in 9 matches in all competitions without defeat, including 7 victories. A great series that the residents of the Etihad Stadium intend to continue when they travel to Aston Villa this Saturday.
“That’s what we didn’t have for a long time”
Asked about City's form, the experienced Bernardo Silva spoke of the changes made which gave rise to this result. The Portuguese attacking midfielder underlined a fundamental point: defensive impermeability.
“We found a little of our rhythm”he commented in comments relayed by the DailyMail.
“We found stability at the back, it gives freedom to the offensive players to play differently. I always say that when you are stable at the back, when the team defends well, which we are doing now, you can win matches. This is what we didn't have for a long time last season, and it's this stability that we are finding again. »
